They should have refuted every charge starting in March, rather than try to just ignore them. At the end they were refuting every charge day by day, but by then the stereotype was set.

The other thing is that they should have criticized smirkboy more directly, as to his inadequacies, and his character. They didn't want to go negative, but someone had to deflate the inflated image of "Bush the Savior of the World". They should have focused more on character than policies. But that is just me.
